Study after study has shown the benefits of insulin pump therapy, so more and more CWD families use pumps. One challenge pump users have is what to do with the infusion set tubing. About one in four (27%) of CWD users let the tubing hang out, and about half (47%) stuff it inside their clothing. A small number wrap it around something.

A small but growing number of pump users who struggle with tubing are switching to the OmniPod, which is a patch-like pump that has no tubing.

If you're finding that the tubing is a problem, infusion set maker Unomedical has a product called tubeguard™ that might help. Ask your pump company for one.
